The Afghanistan WikiProjectgroup is dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to Afghanistan. The goals of this group are threefold; to provide guidelines and recommendations for articles that describe aspects of Afghanistan, to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Afghanistan by creating, expanding, and maintaining factual articles, to serve as the point of discussion for issues related to Afghanistan in Wikipedia. The scope of this project includes articles related to Afghanistan.
Due to the current state of war, there are a considerable number of photographs online which can be uploaded to WikiCommons due to their being products of the US government, and thus not under copyright. I suggest that members of this project consider choosing a province, or group of people, and then search online for US-sourced images which can be uploaded to the Commons for said articles. One good way to narrow the search to such images is writing searches thus: "nangarhar site:*gov" or "faryab site:*mil" in GoogleImages, in order to restrict results to items on US .gov and .mil sites. Note also that Afghan copyright law is not recognised by the United States, so Afghan-initiated products may also be uploadable to the Commons. If anyone else is interested in this initiative, I suggest that you post below which topic you're searching on, to avoid multiple people trying to find pics of, say, Sar-e Pol province at the same time. I will update shortly after I pick a province. MatthewVanitas (talk) 22:19, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
Enzuru (talk·contribs) I love my heritage, insh'Allah I'll be able to help here.
Geo Swan (talk·contribs) I have worked on articles related to some of the citizens of Afghanistan in Guantanamo, and a couple of dozen other individuals connected to hostilities in that area.
Historian born 1975 (talk·contribs) - Afghan history. I hope we can get ride dirts from wikipedia and those shia, Pakistani and Iranians who always try to put Afghanistan down by placing ethnicity and making up ethnic demographics on every single Afghan city, town and provinces. Hopefully people understand that Afghanistan will rise again, and besides because of these loser Wikipedia has been given a bad name.
Internazionale (talk·contribs) Specific interest in 19th century Afghan history, role in the "Great Game," historical sites and architecture.
